“Animals don’t lie. Animals don’t criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.”

Anger tears me up inside, My own, or anyone else’s.

I’m so compulsive about stuff, I know if I had ever gotten pregnant, of course, that would have been my whole focus. But I didn’t choose to have children because I’m focused on my career. And I just don’t think, as compulsive as I am, that I could manage both.

I don’t seem to require a lot of sleep. I just – if I get four, five good hours, I’m fine. But sleeping is sort of dull. There’s a lot of other good stuff that you can do without just lying down and closing your eyes.

I like double entendre because then the people who get it enjoy it, and the people who don’t get it don’t know about it.

I think a lot of people like hidden-camera shows where they think they’re spying on somebody who doesn’t know they’re looking at them. And nobody takes it seriously – you either enjoy it and get a laugh out of the reactions or not.

I go out to the kitchen to feed the dog, but that’s about as much cooking as I do.

You can always tell about somebody by the way they put their hands on an animal.

Animals are near and dear to my heart, and I’ve devoted my life to trying to improve their lives.

I’m not what you might call sexy, but I’m romantic. Let’s put it that way.

I’ve worked with Morris Animal Foundation for more than 40 years now, and I’m so proud of all they’ve done to advance veterinary medicine for animals worldwide.

Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.

Retirement is not in my vocabulary. They aren’t going to get rid of me that way.

I like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.

I think that a show that is as successful as ‘The Golden Girls’ is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. If you don’t feel proud to be part of a show that has that kind of track record, then shame on you, because that’s a privilege.

I kid around a lot, but pranks are not my best strength!

I didn’t know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, I have to say, it sounds like a huge waste of time.

The great majority of men, especially in France, both desire and possess a fashionable woman, much in the way one might own a fine horse – as a luxury befitting a young man.

I think fur looks better on an animal than on a human being. So I dress my dog in a mink teddy.

The best part is coming. What’s the best part? You swallowing an entire cow whole? No. That’s the finale.

Usually, I’m only sad when something sad happens. I am not a melancholic person. I like to live very much in the present. If I was an animal, I’d be a little cat. They like to live life.

I stayed in show business to pay for my animal business.

I’m in the middle of my sixth book, which is about animals at the Los Angeles Zoo.

There is no more reason to believe that man descended from an inferior animal than there is to believe that a stately mansion has descended from a small cottage.

You know what the problem that animal activists sometimes have? They only concentrate on the heartbreaking things to the point where the general public thinks, ‘Oh, here comes those animal folks again and I’m going to hear all the things I don’t want to hear.’
